PRESIDENT RECIEVES A RELIC OF GRANDFATHER W.H. HARRISON'S INAUGURATION HARRISON, BENJAMIN. Letter Signed, "Benj Harrison," as President, to Mrs. M. Nicholson, thanking her for sending a nearly fifty-year old copy of a newspaper featuring his grandfather's Presidential inauguration. 1 1/4 page, 4to, "Executive Mansion" stationery, ruled paper, written on a single folded sheet; faint scattered soiling. (TFC) Washington, 30 December 1890
"Mr. McKim has placed in my hands the New York Herald of March 5th 1841, giving the account of the inauguration of my grandfather, which you were so kind enough to offer through him for my acceptance. Please accept my thanks for your kindness. It is a valuable and interesting relic. I was particularly interested in contrasting the Pennsylvania Avenue of that date as shown in the picture, and the Avenue of today."
